Kathleen Shearer of <strong>CARL</strong> prepared a submission to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) consultation of open access on behalf of COAR. Work Plan 2010-2011 Several members of COAR, including Kathleen Shearer from <strong>CARL</strong>, were asked to present ideas for one objective in the work plan. After the presentations, it became clear that there was a lot of overlap between the various objectives. The objectives were re-worked by a small working group and voted in by a majority of members. The final work plan objectives are as follows: 1. Promote the role of OA repositories and raise their profile / Be the strategic partner of regional, national and international OA initiatives as a representative/authoritative voice 2. Collect, assemble and disseminate best practices for the inception, operation and growth of OA repositories 3. Facilitate the discussion on the interoperability among OA repositories and as part of a wider e-Infrastructure 4. Support regional and national repository initiatives / Promote the repository manager profession 5. Promote the concept, design and implementation of an OA information commons (incl. the question whether COAR should provide concrete services, such as the (meta-) Data Store) Membership Fees The general assembly voted for the following membership fees for 2010: Single Full membership: 2500 € Basic group membership: 2.500 € plus 500 € for each additional member (group
Document 3 memberships have one vote, but represent more than one organization) Invoices for 2010 for COAR will be sent out within April 2010. For 2011 the General Assembly will discuss the membership fees for 2011ff. Working Groups Working groups (WG) will undertake most of the work of COAR and will be populated by members. The working groups will be formed based on the 5 objectives identified in the work plan. Groups will be established soon and members were encouraged to volunteer to one or more working groups. Advisory Council It was proposed that the criteria for the setting up the Advisory Council should be based on regional and stakeholder representation. It also may include the working group leaders. The advisory council will be determined at the next meeting, but the initial proposal by Norbert Lossau is as follows: Regional representation: JP (Syun Tutiya), CH (Xiaolin Zhang), US (Clifford Lynch), Canada (?), Latin-America (Martha Giraldo), Europe (?), More regions? Stakeholder representation: funders, libraries/institutions in developing countries, repository platform providers, technical/infrastructure/service providers, industry, researchers could be represented by subject repositories Members:?JISC, ?FECYT, ?FCCN, Rima Kupryte eIFL, DuraSpace/e-prints, SURF, Microsoft (Tony Hey) Next Meeting Six months in advance, the Executive Board will propose a location and date for the next meeting.
